The Turner Motorsport Performance Chassis Mount Short Shifter removes the shift carrier assembly entirely removing any prospect of flex caused by bushings or driveline movement. By contrast, this chassis mount shifter offers a drastic reduction in shift lever travel, vagueness, and side-to-side play. An elevated base allows for moving the fulcrum point upwards, resulting in a much shorter and more precise throw. Shift times are further reduced by a tall, "rally style" shift lever, used to aid in leverage while also bringing the lever closer to the steering wheel. Turner's design incorporates a proprietary centering spring design, which is adjustable for increasing or decreasing self-centering force. In short, Turner's design eliminates all the drawbacks of your factory BMW shifter, translating to more control, greater precision, shorter throws, and faster shift times.

Choose between our plain geo-spec coated, slotted zinc coated, or cross drilled and slotted zinc coated rotor designs! Our V5 plain rotor design is perfect for daily drivers looking for a reliable and affordable brake rotor option, and features a durable GeoSpec; silver-colored coating, which offers superior corrosion protection versus a painted or zinc coated rotor. This coating also eliminates the light oiling many manufactures utilize to avoid flash rust while rotors are stored or in transit: this means there's no cleaning or scuffing required to install ECS V5 plain rotors, making brake services quicker than that with uncoated rotors. Our V5 slotted rotor design provides excellent heat dissipation thanks to reduced pad out-gassing, meaning reduced brake fade. Slotting also reduces glazing, meaning consistently increased overall stopping power. Our 5th generation slotted brake rotor also features a sleek black zinc coating for a clean, contemporary look as well as superior corrosion protection versus an uncoated or black oxide coated rotor. Our V5 cross drilled and slotted rotor design offers even greater heat dissipation and improved wet-weather performance as compared with a slotted rotor, making it an ideal choice for high-performance driving enthusiasts. Our 5th generation slotted brake rotor also features a sleek black zinc coating for a clean, contemporary look as well as superior corrosion protection versus an uncoated or black oxide coated rotor.

Turner Motorsport control arms are designed in-house to be a longer, stronger, and lighter weight upgrade to prep your car for aggressive driving or the track. If you're overhauling the front suspension on your E46, this is the right move for you! RACE kit provides +10mm more track width (per side) than stock. DRIFT kit provides +65mm more track width (per side) than stock. By correcting the lower outer ball joint location with the Turner Roll Center Correction Race Kit, the instantaneous center of rotation is raised, bringing the roll center much closer to the center of gravity, and significantly decreasing roll movement. This minimizes body roll, provides more grip, and ultimately leads to an improved and predictable driving feel.
